what do you guys think of skyrim so far???

loving it on pc. the game is AMAZING. although i wasint a big fan of oblivion and more morrowind, this game blew me away! and btw im not a fanboy :D

Im absolutely loving it.

Stealing from every house in town every single item u see + owning a house + hoarding = FUN

"Answer" + shouts = white stained pants

I might like it more than Morrowind, and Morrowind is one of my favorite games ever. Oblivion was kind of a disappointment (though I still played the crap out of it), but Skyrim just feels different. I don't know how to explain it.

Its a very good game...Iam picky about games when it comes to judge them...but Skyrim is very good.

I'm having a great time with this game. Already installed a few mods from skyrimnexus (better textures, detailed faces, night sky, etc) and I'm having a blast. Kudos to Bethesda.

I'm definitely enjoying the game, it's so much better than Morrowind and Oblivion. I've been stuck on it almost every night since its release and all I've really been doing is side missions searching for dragons and the shouts and just messing around. Steam is saying I've logged in 70 hours already! :o

It also has some pretty decent storylines tucked in all the side missions and what I've seen of the main quest, some of the books scattered throughout the land are good reads for backstories. I'm well pleased. Honestly I can't wait to see what badass mods come up after about 2 years of the game being out.

It's great but I have some design issues with the game such as how the Thieves Guild [spoiler] is sitting around in a friggin' sewer [/spoiler] or how the Dark Brotherhood [spoiler] seem like a bunch of jokers. [/spoiler]

Better than Oblivion but still a terrible game.

The minute I saw my Lydia get turned into an astronaut by a lone giant, then come back with 2hp and help me shoot it to death, I deduced that this was my Game of my Lifetime.

Seriously though, it's a fantastic game.

Skyrim far exceeded my expectations, although they were low to begin with Oblivion being not up to snuff for me. It easily equals Morrowind, and I'm sure it will surpass as I go more in depth with the game. Needless to asy, I can't stop playing! I have to set my alarm clock so I can get to work on time lol.

I'm actually surprised at how much I am enjoying the game after my less than stellar experiences with Oblivion and Fallout 3. While the game is certainly lite in its RPG mechanics I'm not minding or missing what's not there, much. I never thought Bethesda utilized stats in a meaningful way to begin with so not having them in Skyrim isn't that big of a deal for me, personally.

I'm normally against "stream-lining" but in this case I think it really helped Bethesda play more to their strengths and minimized some of the things that they maybe don't do so well, like stats.

I certainly wouldn't want ever new "RPG" to play this way but, for what it is and what it's trying to be, I think Skyrim is pretty successful.

Its awesome, I was not a fan of F3 and Oblivion, but I loved there earlyier work with Morrowind,Daggerfall and Arena.

Skyrim is fantastic, really surprised me!

It's addictive... I love the atmosphere and the world. I'm disappointed by the performance and the interface is terrible.

I love it. Bethesda did a good job on this one.

I think its awesome so much improved from oblivion.

It's a good game, certainly better than Oblivion or Fallout 3...but I'm kind of over it at this point.

Now that my thief skills are all pretty high, any sense of immersion is totally gone - high sneak/pickpocketing skills and the ability to bribe guards make it all-too-clear how terrible the AI and scripting is, and the only time I feel challenged is when the difficulty curve spikes unpredictably. Everything is just far too exploitable in this game.

Also everything is getting increasingly unstable, and I'm finding myself enjoying how broken the game is more than enjoying playing the game itself. That's not to say that it's a bad game...it's pretty good (certainly not outstanding, but pretty good), but the more I see of it, the less impressed I am.

I'll probably give the game a rest for a while once I finish the main quest, and possibly play Daggerfall or Morrowind again.

I wish Bethesda took their time. Skyrim has all the signs of a rushed game. While they're at it - why not add more skills? What exactly makes the game more efficient by detracting skills? More skills = more perks = more variation in gameplay = funner game. KHAndAnime

they made a 100 h game full of different awesome quest, cities and you say this is rushed?? sorry but i dont see all this "signs"

GOTY definitely.

And for a game of this size I don't blame the devs for bugs

Loving the game so far. Much better than oblivion but I think at least for now, I still rate Morrowind above it.

I'm looking forward to some texture packs, maybe some UI mods and maybe an official patch or two to fix the bugs. I'm level 33 and I still haven't even gone to see the greybeards yet lol.

They do need to do some balancing of skills and such to make it less easier. Heavy armour mage = unstoppable even on master setting. Least the previous games had penalties when using certain combinations such as heavy armour and magic.

Also I have yet in the entire game so far been able to do a finishing move (apart from when I'm a werewolf). Doesnt matter what I'm fighting or if it is a critical or not, I just can't seem to do one. Btw is there a way to cure the lycanthropy you get from the companions, it's fun but I prefer being well rested.

Better then oblivion worse then morrowind. Atleast they are sure that they want a action / adventure game now and not a rpg ;) :>KalDurenik

just because they didn't add a bunch of stats doesn't mean is not an rpg lol, its almost the same as oblivion.

I absolutely love this game. One of the best I have ever played. 31 hours in and I only have like 6 main quests done

It's not perfect but it's a spectacular game.

the game needs WAY more enemies. i hate going through a dungeon and fighting the same crap over and over again. it really makes the experience very stale for me. however, i think gameplay wise its amazing and while smithing and enchanting are broken, you can always choose to not use them.

50ish hours so far. Best RPG I've ever played. (I'm capable of knocking off the nostalgia glasses). Bethesda knocked it out of the park on this one. Yeah, there are UI issues and some bugs, but overall, this game is incredible.

Coming from someone who did not like Oblivion, Mass Effect or The Witcher.. this game is absolutely fantastic ^^

Skyrim is huge, engrosing and the majority of quests are engaging and fun. My only negatives would be the UI and the lack of depth in regards to combat (at least for Mages).

pretty much this, when i saw the ui i was damn, another bad consle port, but ive been playing almost 30h so far and is incredible.

Would've been better with less consolization (i.e: menus), better voice acting and dx10/11 graphics.murekkep

It is a cool game. However I thing it has too much grinding, the skill system reminds me of WoW and UO (I understand that this goes far into the series, before these). Also comparing with New Vegas for example, it seens that random places don't have much context in them unless you are in a quest, you don't find the occasional notes and documents that were abundant in NV.

Closing this topic because we have an almost identical topic already in the forum. Many thanks.
